Web 2.0

From WhatPort80

Web 2.0 is a buzzword that internet-savvy morons throw around to sound 1337. Some argue it has something to do with making the internets more like a normal computer application. Web 2.0 can only be viewed from a MacBook or a computer running Windows Vista, preferably while wearing a shirt from Threadless.com and drinking Smartwater in Chicago, the home of everything 2.0. Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0 is constantly in Beta, like the "new" YouTube skin that is constantly being offered to be viewed as opposed to just watching videos.

Web 2.0 websites are different from regular websites because instead of using several different hideous designs like Web 0.1, Web 0.5 and Web 1.0, Web 2.0 encourages using a single, pleasing design to ensure that all Web 2.0 sites look exactly the same.

Things you need in order to make your website Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is only available on tiny little computers

Ruby on Rails - the only programming framework sanctioned by the Web 2.0 governing body.
Ajax - derived from "you are a jaxass"
Lots of bubbly, brightly-colored icons, making it more attractive to idiots, minority groups, small children and cats.
Rounded corners - right angles are strictly verboten. Someone might cut themselves or put out an eye.
Non-threatening, safe colours: orange, green, baby blue and white. A safety feature for users on drugs
Sam Stephenson
And perhaps most importantly, remove the last vowel from the name of your website (e.g. Flickr).

Features typical of Web 2.0

Internet is still serious business

Web 2: bung some new code on an old ap, and claim a REVOLUTION!

Social Networking
Java applets that work like any other open source software, except slower and more OTI
More backdoors for viruses
Interactivity via wireless LAN to control web-enabled sex slaves
Un-wanted Spam (e.g. MySpace newsletters)
More serious business
People getting the idea that their opinion actually means something because it's on YouTube
Unnecessarily shiny graphics giving it a crappy Vista appearance.

Irritated by browser-consuming useless "addons" that don't really add 1 atom of usefulness to sites?

Tired of neckbearded, overweight lunix users making their sites "open source" and not letting you actually read anything?

On December 6, 2007, moot was bored, and decided to lure more n00bs into hell, and upgraded to Web 2.0. This, of course, has been accepted as a really stupid idea and, in retaliation, some older users decided to start spreading rumors of needing 4chan Gold/Platinum/Diamond accounts via image macros. Moot and his flunkies started banning anyone who posted them. Thus, proving that Web 2.0 is a very stupid thing to do.
